How Did France Colonise Niger and West Africa? | Flashback with Palki Sharma

[@Firstpost]

Should France end its interference and presence in West Africa? Comment below and join the conversation.

[@manishapriyadarshini9578]

Yes

[@thethankfullservant2206]

Yes

[@jordankitoko5292]

There are two Congos, Kinshasa and Brazzaville. It is Congo Brazzaville 🇨🇬 which were colonized by France 🇫🇷 not Congo Kinshasa 🇨🇩(DRC)

[@OmeyIdris-mh5nh]

Yes of course

[@tracysharp1361]

Absolutely, because their interference has done nothing but destabilize African countries, they interfere for their own benefit not for the benefit of these countries, France has took 95% of these countries wealth if not one hundred percent and have done nothing for these improvertion countries who have rich reserves of resources and should be the richest countries in the world But instead are the poorest because of corrupt leaders and being exploited by a colonizer who doesn't give a d*** about the welfare of the people that they are exploiting but want to complained about the immigrants coming to France well, if France would give these people at least half of what they're. Stealing, maybe it wouldn't be a big problem for these people to stay home. Instead of France does nothing to rebuild these countries given them no industry and very few schools and no medication, no proper housing, nothing just exploiting them and stealing from them. While they're living. A luxury life at the expense of their colonies.

"History is a lie agreed upon." - Napoleon Bonaparte Thanks Palki to show history through objective lenses.

[@canistanbuldan]

Objective? I am doubting as this channel has often sided views. There is no objective point of view, from the time you comment facts, it’s becoming subjective. And it is even worse when facts are selected. But this is applicable for all so-called news channels.

[@condorX2]

​@@marilynlucas5128👍 "History is written by the victors and liars" ~ Napoleon Bonaparte Remember, in Colonial era, all Anglo Western Colonizers did in their Colonies worldwide was build infrastructure, such as roads and ports so that they could ship abundant natural mineral resources, raw materials back to Europe to make fine goods, since there hardly has any mineral resources in Europe. That is what Colonialism is all about; "Pillage and Plunder" at will... For instance, it is agreed upon the fact that Africa in general has progressed a lot more in the past 20-30 years than 200 years of Western Colonialism there. May I ask when will the West face justice for their notorious centuries-long global crimes of Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization from North America to Australia/New Zealand?" - Speaking of 'the rule of Law', may I ask where is the rule of law when the Anglo West is practicing centuries-long global Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization? Speaking of 'crime'.., remember, it’s only a crime if you lose. - The Anglo Western bloc had been on the winning side for about three centuries. Obviously, they couldn't care less about the "crimes" any more. -mamajune3864

During colonisation in the region, especially in Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, the French killed our people in Kaya and dismembered the bodies of our people then mixed them with animals meat and forced our people to eat it. They were so cruel, so our fight today is personal and a revenge against the French government. And after the Africans were taking by force to help France against the army of Hitler during the world war, the French soldiers killed the African soldiers who claimed their payment in Senegal. So our generation knows the truth and doesn't wanna let the French do whatever they want in Africa. They must absolutely leave our countries.

The violence is astounding. France has behaved far worse than the worst serial killer in history. And it continues to steal everything Niger allows. The coup was absolutely necessary to remove the French puppet government, and the narrator should be ashamed for saying the coup was 'anti-democratic.' How can it be 'anti-democratic' when the government only existed through fraud, bribery, blackmail, and a long history of thievery and murder by France?

Thanks very much, Palki Sharma. You are not an African, yet your presentation about the problem of France in Africa, is like a surgical operation. The way you decorticated the issue, backed by historic facts, is amazing. It is beyond my imagination as an African child, how France intends to use whatever means necessary, to carry on with this post-colonial posture while at the same time, the other Europeans imperial powers like Great Britain, have moved on. The bad news for France, is that, the Africa today, is no longer like the Africa of 1885. France should take note that things have changed.

[@28gauravsharma]

Do you know, UK left India in 1947 but one of our State named "GOA" was still under captured by the Portuguese and they were refusing to free it. Then we sent our Indiay Army there and f**k them so hard that they will never thinks to invade any country in future. Same treatment should be given to France.
